You can transfer an existing domain name to your RescueGroups.org account. You may then want to configure this domain name for use on your RescueGroups.org Website or hosting services. The article below will walk you through the transfer and configuration processes. 

Warning

A domain name transfer can take 5 five to 7 seven days to complete. Do not initiate a transfer if your domain name has expired or is going to expire in less than a week. You cannot make any changes to the domain name during the transfer process (ex., changing DNS servers, DNS entries, forwarding, etc).

If you have any questions or concerns about your domain name or the domain name transfer process please contact RescueGroups.org Support before initiating a domain name transfer.

Transferring a domain name to RescueGroups.org involves several steps, including:

  1. Preparing the domain name
  2. Requesting the domain name transfer
  3. Submitting payment for the domain name transfer
  4. Approving the domain name transfer
  5. Verifying that the domain name transfer has completed
Warning
titleImportant

If you have email services or any other configurations on your domain name with your third party DNS provider/registrar, they may stop working when you change registrars. The most common example is email services. Be sure you understand what services would be affected before initiating a transfer.
